Default Re: Special scale map of the universe

I love this type of thing. It really hammers home the incredible tiny sliver of space-time that human beings have and ever will occupy. It indicates to me at least, that our knowledge of the universe is so resource constrained that anyone's claims of knowing, understanding, or even remotely comprehending its creator, creation, or anything about its true nature absolutely comical and well ...downright insane, irrational, and totally fantasy driven. Having been convinced I possessed such knowledge myself in the past, I feel I have some right to say such a thing.

When I contemplate these things I am moved to laughter and a certain joy that is unexplainable.
